In this month's American Libraries Magazine "Letters of the Law," Mary Minor and guest author Kyle K. Courtney "discuss the library ebooks landscape and state-level efforts to institutionalize fair licensing terms." They are both steeped in law and libraries, so fitting that they tackled the following questions:
- What short- and long-term problems do libraries currently face with regard to ebooks? Why are states working on ebook bills for libraries?
- What do these state bills look like? How have they fared so far?
- Have there been attempts at the federal level to solve the ebooks issue? What comes next?
As you might imagine, even their brief answers are in-depth! Definitely worth reading.
